COVID-19: Spain’s daily death toll rises as global confirmed cases top 1.8 million
Spain’s daily death toll from the coronavirus has risen by 619 on Sunday from a nearly three-week low of 510 on Saturday, breaking a three-day streak of daily declines and taking the country’s death toll to 16,972.
Meanwhile, the United States has overtaken Italy as the country with the highest number of coronavirus-related deaths, recording 20,608 fatalities, according to a Johns Hopkins University tally.
Globally, more than 109,000 people have died from the new coronavirus and confirmed infections topped 1.7 million.
The World Health Organization (WHO) is warning against the premature lifting of lockdowns, saying it could trigger a dangerous resurgence of cases.
Food and Drug Administration Commissioner Stephen Hahn said the Trump administration was considering May 1 as a target date to start relaxing stay-at-home restrictions.
“We see light at the end of the tunnel,” he told ABC’s “This Week.”
Hahn, however, warned that there were many factors to take into account in finally determining when it would be safe to lift restrictions, he said
